Soterìa Painting

In the Greek of the New Testament, the term Soterìa indicates Salvation: and it is precisely the concept Christian of Salvation at the center of this painting! The Salvation that is represented here, however, is one with the redemptive drama of the Cross. In accordance with the traditional iconographic scheme of Byzantine crucifixions, the space is here divided into four quadrants by two elements: one vertical, bright red, to recall the blood shed by Christ; the other oblique, symbolizing the human fall from a state of original bliss. The elements present in the two lower quadrants recall the profane, fertilized and redeemed world from the blood that flows abundantly from the Cross. On the contrary, the two upper quadrants allude to eternal supersensible realities: dark evil a right and the redeeming Spirit on the left. The painting Soterìa therefore wants to represent the eternal dynamics of the history of Salvation, thus configuring itself - to use a fortunate expression of the Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar - as an authentic "Theodramatic"!
